So Chelsea are a little bit better than Man City away and a little bit worse than Man United. Overall not too shabby you could say. I'll cream my pants if we get a draw out of this game. |

Seeing as this is the first time we've played them that I won't be in attendance, probably.

.... they should get a warm reception at the brit. Walters vs David Luiz again? They've bought some striker called Ba too.

Shame they've got Ba, I was really fancying us against them at home, especially with them not having Drogba playing for them anymore

Not now they have Ba.

Chelsea's always going to be a difficult team to beat, and though they've been inconsistent of late they have had some good performances and haven't done badly away from home. That said, we've definitely got a chance of coming away with this, and if we injure each of their players and their manager in doing so it would probably be hard to have any regrets.

They weren't spectacular at Everton but ground out a win, something we need to remember. I hope he picks the same team that lost to QPR.

It probably is our best opportunity to beat them since promotion but they are a million miles better than us on any given day. Just hope that day isn't Saturday and we perform at our best - then maybe.
We'll do well to come through this game still unbeaten at home, truth be told.

they are playing on Wednesday evening against Swansea as well, hopefully they will be tired, but they have ba and mariner in their side who should be fresh, a pity Senegal were thrown out of the ACN for crowd violence

We will get beaten against Chelsea Depends how we approach the game. If we play with no pace and no attacking ambition then you're right. If we have a go i'm sure we can get something. Over to Pulis. |

2-1 Stoke, we will be well up for this just like the Liverpool game. We havent beaten Chelsea since we got promoted so its time we did and this is a good a chance as any with the way we are playing at home

Post by fortressbritannia on Jan 8, 2013 17:09:38 GMT
There is only 1 acceptable line up for this Begovic
Wilkinson Huth Shawcross Cameron
Kightly Whelan N'Zonzi Etherington
Walters Jones We'll get something with that starting XI |

I have this feeling I'm going to be unbelievably angry on Saturday, with some injustice or other.
I almost don't want to watch the match.
Terry returning, Ba playing for Chelsea, Ashley Cole, Andre Marriner, Torres coming on as sub to roll around, Fat Frank, Mikel and Ramires and the phantom race card, Ivanovic play-acting, Petr Cech sitting in the stand dressed as Biggles.
Something is going to upset me.

Capitalising on their second choice GK shouldn't be underestimated!
I'd love to see another Boxing Day performance, but a draw would be a good result.

I see tosspot Terry is in line for his return Saturday if he comes through a reserve game on Thursday.My hope is the prick is on the bench right in front of me.

Normally I'd be happy with a draw from this game but we've had too many draws now so it'll have to be a win :-)
